ABED OF DISEASE GERMS.
What the City Board Of Health Thinks of
POgue's Run-Deaths During July.

AT the regular meeting Of the city Board of
Health, yesterday morning, the filthy condition
of Pogue's run was considered Secretary
carp presented the following statement: The
condition of Pogues at this time is such
that the accumulation Of filth emits all kinds
Of disease germs, and endangers the lives OF
residents along the borders. For number of
years this subject has been agitated, but has not
been remedied. At this time an inspection
will convince anyone Of the necessity Of speedy
action. The danger now is very great ac-
count of the drought Part of the stream might
then at stated intervals the refuse matter re-
moved. The main bed should be flushed with
water from the water works. This would nm
doubtedly be temporary relief, until the
Council can arrive at q permanent means for
abating this nuisance and forerunner of disease"
DR.. Long thought the trouble all resulted from
the violation of the law by the drivers OF gar
bage wagons, who dumped filth into the stream.
This matter, he thought, should receive the at
tention of the superin tsndent of police.
Il was finally decided to refer the statement of
Secretary carp to the Council. with an appeal
for relief. and the superintendent OF police
instructed TO pay particular attention to the en-
forcement of the ordinance against dumping
filth into the stream.
The report of the secretary for the month Of
July showed 223 deaths, the greatest number in
any month for several years. OF this number
eighty eight were under year OF age. and
forty-six under ten years. There were liz deaths
from measles forty five from cholera infautum,
seventeen from consumption, and six from sun
stroke. The coroner reported nineteen deaths
and the public institutions nine.

ten miles. The unicycle is single

You'll put your foes TO route.
